 Nathalia's gaze hardened. Slowly, she nodded. "Truce." She took Rachel's hand in her own and squeezed. Her enemy had become an ally. Nathalia felt that the alliance would be needed, wanted even, in the days to come. "You know, we'll have to act like we still hate each other...at least a bit. Helga would get suspicious if we didn't." She added, a brow raised.

Arell nodded, finishing his weapons check, he spun the twin revolvers in his hands and holstered them. "Dat's what dey're here for. Jus' avoid goin' where I'm pointin' 'em this time." he drawled. Clearly he was getting into his element. It seemed too quiet . . . as in, that kinda quiet one gets when something ominous happens in the movies.
Dundee on the other hand, was really hoping Kai didn't hear him say his real name . . . he HATED being called Norville. He just nodded and went towards the shadows. "Keep hidden, guys. The less fighting we have, the easier it's gonna be for us to get the hell outta here!" he said in a low whisper. It was almost as if he was thinking like a bat. Not THE bat, but maybe like one of the Bat fam.

Kai would have rolled her eyes if she wasn't already trying as hard as she was to keep her balance at Arell's comment. As if she would purposefully run into the like of a shot. She ran ahead of Arell and opened the door to the outside and kept close to the building when a man came around a corner popping right in front of her.
Kane held on him a gun and shot at Arell pulling Kai towards himself grabbing her arm and pulling it behind her locking her into an unbreakable hold.
"I thought Rose was joking, but I guess you 3 really were going to try and escape. Nice to meet your friends again Kai. Especially the weregator friend of yours, his powers are quiet interesting and need to be further studied."
Kai struggled but was still to week to use her weight to pull Kane over herself to free herself. Of course there was always a maneuver to any restraining technique to free herself that she had learned from Batman, but they required a certain amount of strength which she was currently lacking.
"Dundee, get him off of me."
"You should have known better Kai to not run around corners when you don't know who could be behind them. Then again, how can someone as damned as you think when you are starving yourself of what your true form needs."
Kane held her in front of himself and backed up a little holding his gun towards Arell.
"Kane, you've been reading too many fairy tails and legends."
Kai replied a twinge of anger in defense showed. Her expression turned to defeat at his point, but she still wanted escape.
((Isn't this like, late afternoon, not night? Or is it night? I'm not sure X/... Also think that they should fight Kane to get her lose then a shoot down may begin ;P ))

Arell growled as he reached, not for a pistol, but for the sawed-off twin-barrel twelve gauge shotgun from his back holster. "Well well, Kane. We meet 'gain." he growled. The bullet from Kane zipped past harmlessly to the guys.
When Arell had Kane distracted, Dundee slunk through the shadows. He pulled out a buck knife, ready to really lay some hurt on Kane . . . Dundee's blood was boiling with anger.
However, it was Arell who had promised it'd be "to the end" when he and Kane were to meet.
"Let 'er go, Kane. Yer fight's with me." he growled menacingly.
((On it.))

Kane lowered his gun and let Kai down now pointing the gun to her head.
"What good would I be if I didn't stay long enough to tell you about your good friend here. Then maybe her friends would know her as well as her family does right? So here's a deal, you stay here, with me and give IO no trouble... And I let Kai and your other friend go free."
Kai sat on the ground and tried kept her attention at the gun pointed at her and dared not move. Kane held the trigger and she was in no condition to heal herself as she would in any other circumstance.
"Kane, that's ridiculous. You're going to get killed if you try and work with Arell's gator form. It's best you just .let. us. go."

Arell growled menacingly. "De only reason I'm gonna stay is de later prospect of fillin' your dirty hide so fulla holes, your whore mother woulda mistook your lousy a** for Swiss cheese." he snarled. He looked like he was putting the gun down to surrender. However, he seemed to be looking off beyond where Kane was.
But at that time, Dundee, of ALL PEOPLE, darted out of a shadow and plunged that big Bowie knife in Kane's arm. "THIS is for attacking my FAMILY!!" Dundee yelled.

Kane grabbed at Dundee's shirt collar and yanked him forward, flipping him in a toss to the ground and then backed up reaching to the knife. He looked up his bangs a mess and he grunted in pain as he pulled the knife out and tossed it to Dundee.
"Attacking me out of the shadows. This must mean you have no powers right? Pathetic, I work to face Metahumans, not average sleazes like you."
His gun directed at Dundee as he backed up into the shadows partially himself.
Kai got up to her feet and ran to Dundee and partially blocked him from Kane.
"Are you okay? Let's get out of here. Arell."
She took Dundee's hand and started to run and only glanced to Arell a moment to tell him to run as well.

But around that time, it turned out he had invoked the rage of Arell . . . who calmly gripped Kane by the throat and hoisted him into the air.
"Y'all Git on outta heah! Dis sleazebag ******** an' I gots some unfinished BUSINESS!!" he said and slammed Dr. Rockwell into the ground.
In what looked like one fluid, violent moment, he pulled out his shotgun and pointed it point blank in Kane's face, the gun armed, loaded and live by the time Arell had it down. "Son, you jest started somethin' you ain't gonna be livin' to finish." he growled, jamming the gun into Kane's mouth.
Arell smirked, chuckling menacingly. "Start prayin'."
Dun stood there, pausing at the sheer strength and anger this boy had for Kane. "Kai . . . believe me when I say this. Look away NOW." Dundee said, legit fear in his voice.

Kai couldn't take her eyes away from Arell's actions, worried that he might actually kill Kane.
"Arell, stop, he's done."
She stopped and turned to run back towards Arell and Kane letting go of Dundee's hand.
Kane glared at Arell, if this was his last shot, then it would not be in vain at the least. He pulled his gun to Arell's side and would pull the trigger at the last possible moment and injure the man hindering his escape. "Good run, Never come across a Meta-human with the balls to kill a man... oh well, I guess it was going to happen someday." He pulled the trigger and launched a bullet point blank into Arell's side and exited just below the back ribs and through the Latissimus dorsi. Not a fatal shot but it would be enough to make his life miserable for quiet awhile.

Arell growled, pained in his voice. He pulled out a pistol in his free hand, working through the pain, aiming for Kane's kneecap. BANG!! Dundee winced when Arell shot out Kane's kneecaps. "s**t, bro! What'd ya do that for?!" he asked. Oddly enough, Arell said nothing. His eyes glowed green in what looked like the animal was in control of the human's body. Using his cowboy boot, he kicked Kane in the throat and forced him on the ground before ramming the shotgun into the man's mouth again, kneeling on Kane's chest, the two's blood on the floor as Dun' stood paralyzed in fear . . . how could a man be so brutal? So ruthless? This was the happy-go-lucky good ol' boy he grew up with turned into a coldhearted killer? He backed up towards Kai. "Kai, we need to go . . . NOW. There ain't nothin' we can do or say that's gonna sway him from killin' him." Dundee said, more worried for Kai than he was for himself. Arell's eyes looked deep into Kane's. Seemingly burning into the other man's soul as the Cajun prepped two rounds, firing them in rapid succession. K-BLAM!!!! BLAM!!!!! In a matter of seconds . . . Dr. Kane Rocknell had been killed.

Kai dropped to her knees in a daze of how to react to this. Someone she assumed to be her friend just ended someone's life. Any criminal it would have been horrible for her, since she was trained not to kill. That and she avoided death like the plague but this wasn't just any criminal and it wasn't just anybody killing that criminal. It was her friend killing someone she knew. Someone she knew really well since she was a little girl in this lifetime.
"Kane"
She whispered sorrowfully. Frozen on the ground, she couldn't will herself to move any longer after seeing him go.

Arell looked over the corpse. Kneeling down and closed Kane's eyes. His mouth, chin and part of Kane's throat had been blown away. He reached in his pocket and pulled out two coins. He shouldered the shotgun and took his hat off in remembrance for his fallen foe.
"Sorry, che'. If'n ya had fought me like a man last time, ya wouldn'ta died like a dog t'day." he said solemnly and placed the coins over Kane's eyes. Arell walked back, shaking his head as he put his hat back on. His other hand reaching for his flask of whiskey. "Git Kai. We're outta here." Arell growled, his voice deep with the weight of depression. It was something he always had to fight with. He hated killing, but deep down he knew this one had to be done.
Dundee nodded, picking Kai up, he held her close to him, the air around them dark as they went to the exit.

Kai was surprised when Dundee had actually picked her up, almost not hearing that Arell asked him to do so. As they were sneaking around trying to get away from the scene that would probably draw the attention of the IO black ops.
"Dun, Please... let me down. I'll walk on my own. And just get out of here."

Dun' nodded and put Kai down onto the floor. "Well, I guess the element of Surprise is out of the question . . . and . . . aw, crap! I left my knife!" he growled, darting back to get his knife and running back as fast as he could, sheathing it on the go as he got back to help Kai up.
"Family heirloom. Passed down from our grampa." Dun' said.

If Kai was able to use her other form for escape she would have changed by this time to leave. Carrying Dundee and Arell as she flew them silently over to a hanger that may contain a vehicle for escape. The cuffs stopped her from doing such, and without a word she began to move towards a hanger.
((Now it is probably Time for Skuld and others to post. sweatdrop ))
